#Christmas Holidays & Packages - Destinations & Ideas

For Australians, Christmas is synonymous with the beach, barbeques and sunny weather, but for others it just wouldn’t be Christmas without snow. Whether you choose to spend the Christmas holidays relaxing on the beach or taking off overseas on a winter getaway, you’re sure to enjoy the festive season.

Enjoy an Aussie summer with a beach holiday

For a tropical escape, take the family to Darwin, Cairns or Port Douglas and spend time enjoying the beautiful beaches in our own backyard. The Whitsunday Islands are perfect for a summer holiday with their emerald waters and white sandy shores. For a fun filled adventure, spoil the kids with a stay at the Gold Coast, where they can ride the radical roller coasters all day long.

Retreat to a picturesque hideaway 

On the other hand, consider heading to one of Australia’s impressive wine regions for a peaceful getaway in spectacular surrounds. Relax and unwind in romantic lodge style accommodation and experience the natural beauty of the world class vineyards. Sample sensational local produce, pamper yourself with luxurious spa treatments or enjoy a picturesque game of championship golf.

Enjoy a wonderful white Christmas

Everyone needs to experience at least one white Christmas. With the promise of snow and its many Christmas traditions and festivities, Germany is the perfect place for a winter family holiday. Enjoy the lavish Christmas markets where you will be tempted by traditional German food and unique Christmas shopping with handcrafted gifts and toys. At night, these famous markets are lit with thousands of fairy lights and are a magical experience for the whole family.

Spend the holidays in Manhattan

New York comes alive as an enchanting, winter wonderland at Christmas. Walk the snow covered streets of Manhattan whilst admiring the elaborate department store window displays. Visit Rockefeller Centre to see the famous Christmas tree covered in thirty thousand lights and be sure to take the kids ice skating in Central Park. Drop by Macy’s on Thirty Fourth Street with the kids and visit Santaland, home to the real Santa Claus.
